Artist and developer who makes esoteric software, games and tools aboard a sailboat as part of Hundred Rabbits with Rekka Bellum; creator of the Uxn virtual machine and the Orca livecoding environment.
A day spent exploring Infinity in mutisets rewriting systems. Picked by Cantor for the first infinite ordinal number, infinity is expressed as the letter Omega, ω. It indicates the limit of the sequence of natural numbers 1, 2, 3, 4.. For example, apple^ω means an infinity of apples. Infinity is a saturating value, no finite quantity can be added to or removed from it. wiki.xxiivv.com

A simple model of AI-aided economic growth
3 beliefs · marginalrevolution.com
Their words
In this model, if someone or something could “commandeer” the Intelligence sector, their power over society would be much more limited than it might appear at first. The world does not change that much at first, because the necessary complements are lacking.

America
Their words
Now recently the U.S. economy has experienced a huge positive shock to its Intelligence, with more to come. The core prediction is that this increases marginal returns, employment, and real wages in the Polanyi knowledge sector.

A simple model of AI-aided economic growth marginalrevolution.com
Their words
In the model, intelligence and Polanyi knowledge combine to produce output. Substitutability is fairly limited. For instance, if you have problems of norms in your office, a mere dose of AI-drenched technocratic knowledge does not usually solve those problems. Sometimes it even can make those problems worse, by empowering rent-seekers further. Intelligence and Polanyi knowledge are not quite Leontief complements, but they are mostly complements.

If there really is a high chance of AI leading to the extinction of humanity within years/decades, then the only rational stance towards safety monitoring and research pacing should be stringent, top-down government involvement and universally ratified international treaties.

Current models are unsafe not because they're too smart, but because they take goals too literally or take nonsensical shortcuts to achieve these goals, i.e. they're RL-fried. They lack common sense. They don't do the right thing in the face of ambiguity. Basically, they're not smart enough.

Stimulating piece on Scottish education in @asteriskmgzn: https://t.co/jyTk8uTT1J. I suspect that discussions of canon, culture, and shared context to return to the fore in the coming years, as many skills, narrowly-construed, are ceded to AI, and as some of the excesses of de-Arnoldization, and the processes that Arendt described in her writing on education, start to recede. I’m curious on the causal linkage between PISA scores and the reforms he describes. It feels like a very exciting time to be a theorist of education, and I assume that the best work will come from surprising places. Related

I hope the proposals by frontier labs to pace AI research stem from a genuine concern for safety and a recognition of the potential risks posed by future models, rather than a strategic effort to consolidate power and permanently solidify the market dominance of a few top players.

In my own life, what I want to give to people, most importantly to people I love, is the power to deal with reality to get what they want.

This can be difficult for people emotionally, even if they understand intellectually that having difficulties is the exercise they need to grow strong and that just giving them what they want will weaken them and ultimately lead to them needing… Related

the more that we see actors looking to weaponize without any very good maps of how and what they are doing or what kinds of unexpected repercussions might happen, the more we can expect not simply increased risks of tension and worry, but also people screwing up, doing dumb stuff.

nobody was willing to do it because it had been seen as kind of against the norms of the economic system. And as actors like the United States and China do this, it becomes more acceptable.

the more that we saw a power doing that, the more that other powers were likely either to look to defend themselves or to retaliate against us. And this, we think, is a world that has come into being.

How should social science think about AI?
3 beliefs, in the piece's order there

I suspect that some of the labs' willingness to put money into the social sciences stems from the realization of senior people that the practical build out of AI is highly unpopular in the U.S and their urgent desire to figure out how to sugarcoat the pill so that it will get swallowed

It's cool that there is more interest in eval tools! Some opportunities for improvement: 1. Right now, this workflow tries to quiz you up front about your recollection of your experience with a plugin. It would be better if it was more "in-situ", meaning you could give feedback on the plugins as you are using them. 2. It goes off and builds datasets and judges automatically based on what you tell it in up front as well as what's documented in the plugin. I would like to see it try to do error discovery with you first to allow you to annotate real traces / session history etc so you can figure… Quoting @ClaudeDevs New in Claude Code: claude plugin eval See what value your plugin is adding, or if it needs more work. You can create test cases, run your plugin or skill against those test cases, score those runs, then run each case again without the plugin to see the differences. Related

Mathematicians are unhappy about OpenAI. The gist of their argument is that they form a community that trains young people.

Do you still choose a math major and train yourself to prove difficult results by hand? This crisis has been coming for a long time.

It takes at least 10 years after high school to get to the frontier of economic research, or to the frontier of medical research.

Good question, even if framed too aggressively. But the answer is no. During QE, given the zero lower bound that prevented further decreases in policy rates, the ECB bought long maturity national bonds, including those of France, so as to decrease long-term interest rates and help countries, including France. Now, as we are away from the lower bound, there are few reasons to keep as many of them. As these are sold (or not rolled over at maturity) through QT, this indeed likely increases long rates a bit and makes it harder for France to adjust. If selling these bonds turns out to be strongly… Quoting @RobianoAntoine Le raisonnement paraît juste mais - L'annulation de la dette détenue retirerait à la BCE l'une de ces nombreuses sources de pouvoir exorbitant, celui de revendre des titres de dette publique d'un Etat pour contraindre politiquement ce dernier ? interest rates Related

How do you feel when you wake up and before bed and how easily do you fall asleep? The time in bed in the morning and at night tells you all you need to know. It's not a purely intellectual reasoning. It's not a pro and con list. It's not a spreadsheet. It’s not a Venn diagram. It's like, how do you feel? And are you even aware of how you're feeling? How much energy have you spent blocking out feeling, because you don't want to feel certain things?

What should be obvious is that inference, running a large language model, is the part that has to be cheap. Most of our hardware was not designed for that. LLM inference is limited by bandwidth. You do a great many matrix-vector multiplications against a huge weight matrix, and you barely reuse those weights. It is closer to streaming a video than to running a simulation or drawing a scene in a game. Graphics processors from Nvidia and others were built for something else. They pileed compute first, then bolted on high-bandwidth memory. It is expensive. An obvious answer is to invert the desi… LLMs Related

When there were just a few of us, we had meaningful relationships because we knew and liked each other.

A really lovely GRID VIEW is coming to Basecamp 5 shortly. We had a grid view in 4, but it wasn't any good and I didn't want to drag it into 5. Had we done that, we'd have called it done and never revisited. By intentionally leaving it out, we allowed pressure to build to bring it back. And with no legacy to battle or revamp, we were able to return to the drawing board and make something so much better, from scratch. Coming to a Basecamp near you. Soon. Related

The gold standard in the statistical analysis of scientific data is a p-value of 0.05. Never mind what it means. It is the threshold people use to say the result did not occur by chance. There is a wide consensus. Nearly all experts treat it as the bar to statistical significance. I am quite certain that most do not know what it means or where the number comes from. Never mind that. In principle, it means that if you redo the experiment, the result should hold. At least, that's what most people hope when they hear that a result is 'statistically significant'. It often will not. If the origina… Quoting @robinhanson !!: "A finding with a p-value of 0.05 has an expected replication probability ranging from 0.10 to 0.25 across fields." Related

most surveys find that the median AI researcher forecasts about a 5% chance of extinction or similar "doom" from AI, while the mean probability is much higher -- around 15-20% -- due to a smallish group who give very high probabilities of doom.

Artificial intelligence has unleashed a torrent of cheating on campus and created chaos in the job application process, as both students and employers use large language models: the former, to write hundreds of AI-assisted applications; the latter, to screen those AI-written applications with AI-written filters, thus removing from the process of finding a first job those procedural frictions sometimes known as "people."

Sound like many employees at Anthropic share Jacob's POV, as many posted yesterday that (1) they agree, and (2) said that many more inside the company do also. It would be useful to name this "belief system" so that we can talk about it in a reasonable way. I suspect "doomer" seems derogatory, and "accelerationist" has others uses. If there a word we can use so that we can have proper discourse? I'm very serious. I think it would be helpful. Anthropic Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
